The varsity baseball team played the Randall Raiders Tuesday, March 19 at home. The Raiders jumped out to an early 5-0 lead off of two runs in the first and third innings and one in the second, including a solo home run from Randall first baseman Brian Canida. Neither team scored again until the bottom of the sixth inning when Canyon scored two runs, then loaded the bases. Second baseman Braden Baker hit a grand slam in the next at-bat to earn the Eagles their first lead of the game. Randall scored to tie the game in the top of the 7th. With two outs and two on, catcher Jake Rogers hit the game-winning single to left field, scoring Isaac Garland to seal the comeback win.

The Eagles will play Randall again at Randall High School this Friday. In last week’s Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association poll, Canyon was ranked fourth in Class 4A behind Tomball, Calallen in Corpus Christi and Frenship.
